Just a short disclaimer: none of the following are facts or objective statements. These are just the opinions of different audience members.



Vocal

Into the New World - Heo Yoonjin and Nako hard carried, but other members also did well in general

Energetic - Not very memorable, Noe rapped

Don't Know You - Chowon did well, Gear Second (TL Note: lol is that what Koreans call Hyewon) rapped again

The Truth Untold - Dare I say, fucking terrible...RIP Miyu

Ddu-Du Ddu-Du - The star of the vocal performances, Doa was the star and will rise up greatly in rankings, Sakura's singing sucked but her visuals were fucking breathtaking

Merry-Chri - Fucking terrible, Too bad for Minami ㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜ (TL: Not sure if he means that she did well or terrible)

Dance

HandClap - Minseo is pretty, rest is forgettable

Touch - Miu is center and the first intro was fucking great, Minjoo was visual one top

Side to Side - Sian is fucking tall, Wonyoung did great, Avengers Group 1 (TL: My sentiments exactly when I saw the group)

Instruction - Bunch of low ranked nobodies, but danced great

Sorry Not Sorry - Cesspool group (TL: Wow did not realize these members were hated in Korea), although have to admit Chaeyeon is great at dancing, Avengers Group 2

Vocal & Rap Positions

Girls' Generation - Into The New World

* Huh Yun-Jin: Hard-carried. High notes shown again like a 'High Tension' performance. Perfect visual, perfect stage presence. If she do not rank 1st in the team, the people who came to the contest for evaluation must be deaf.

* Yabuki Nako: Incredibly hot response from audiences. The stage feels lightly embedded in Huh Yoon Jin. I do not think she performed badly, but I was not impressed by the impact of the first stage contest.

* Kim Chae-Won: She is pretty. Crowd response was 2nd place in the team(first was Nako). Excellent beauty, stable vocal.

* Chiba Eri: Cute. Insanely cute. I did not expect much, but it was better than what I expected about vocal. Absolutely, it is not very noticeable because there is not so much parts for her.

* Goto Moe: I do not know. I can hardly see her. In many ways, it is not enough compared with the other members. She seemed not seriously insecure, but also not even have anything flashy.

2. Wanna One - Energetic

* Joe Yu-ri: She did well as the main vocal after the 'Short hair' stage. I think it was neat enough to no more comments.

* Na Go-Eun: Good role player as a partner for Joe Yuri. Good partner and supporter enough to make up for it. I personally thought that this type of lead / sub vocal would be a more suitable position for her, and I thought it was a good performance for the position, although there was a lot of evaluation that there was no impact.

* Kim Si-hyeon: May have been excellent as a leader position, but one vocalist, there was nothing special thing. I can not ignore the fact that the same team vocals are Joe Yuri and Na goeun, strong competitors. But there was nothing else, just she was pretty,

* Asai Nanami: Same as Kim Sihyeon, but little bit more cute and coordinated than the visuals of Kim Sihyeon. The stage was not able to show anything special as a vocalist.

* Yamada Noe: It may be due to the noise caused by the cheering from audiences ... I could not really listened/understood her rapping. However, I was surprised that she had a strong sense of stage control, showmanship and performance. If I wake up tomorrow, my thoughts might be different. I think she is a fun and energetic girl.

3. Heize - Don't know you

* Han Cho-Won: She prove that 'Boombaya' and 'No-answer sisters' were her suppressor. Showed us again that another reversal surprise.

* Park Min-ji: The vocal was as expected. Just as expected. Of course it doesn't means she didn't do it well, but failed to fill my expectation to 'Wow' level. Harmony with Han Cho Won was wonderful.

*Yoo Min-young: Rapping was as I expected. Just as much as I expected. it seems to me that much. I'm sure she did well, but something ambiguous.

* Kang Hye-won: 'Innocence rapper from hell' challenged again. But it seemed that the training was still lacking. She was so beautiful, that is the end. She did Gear Second again and recruited her pirate fellow after the stage..

4. BTS - The truth untold

* Miyazaki Miho: Unexpected, excellent tone that I never expected from her. she dazzled in the insecure stage.

* Jang Gyu-ri: I thought it was not bad performance for her to regain from 'Pikaboo' nightmare. But just ............... just that much. I think she did adequate roll as a emergency suture with Miho in the whole unstable stage.

* Iwatate Saho: Actually, considering her vocal capacity and the amount of the vocal parts, her position was a supporter. But...just vanished away. Nothing left.

* Takeuchi Miyu: As I listen to Myu's vocals several times ... I think she is difficult to digest a lot of songs because she is not a popular type. She've been exposed to anxiety all the time. I do not know how it will be edited by m-net, but I listened her song on the stage in live, she ruined the song.

5. Black Pink - DDu-du Ddu-du

* Kim Do-ah: Actually, I might be subjective because my 1st pick is in this group (Juri), but it is true that Do-ah was the most prominent trainee objectively. Her dairing speech in the 1st rank announcement was sort of hint for today's dodgy, chic performance.

* Park Seo-young: It seems to be true that rappers, including Kim Do-ah, looked better overall than vocal position.

* Takahashi Juri: The vocal was generally mild. I think she's digging her parts to some extent 'as much as her capable', but I think that is all. Lack of impact.

* Miyawaki Sakura: Pretty. Pretty. Pretty. Stage was... Sakura being Sakura. A satisfactory expression was like 'Eri of boombaya'. Period.

* Murakawa Vivian: Well ... I do not think there's nothing special on stage. Vivian's color is not fitable for this stage. Showed cult popularity from enthusiastic supporter.

* Jo ga-hyun: I have nothing to say. Showed some comic moments after the stage.

6. Boa - Merry-Chri

Here is the abstract for the first and last time. Author gave the all pass for all member in this group. I felt I could not take someone out. The victory of the low-ranked member who sang the abandoned song. Great performance from all members.

* Park Hae-yoon: She revealed her dazzling talents while leading the songs with hae-sol. It was Park Hae-yoon if I could mention only MVP in this team that everyone can say MVP.

* Yun hae-sol: Fantastic harmony with Park Hae Yoon. I have nothing more to say. Two main vocals lead so well.

* Kim Na-young: She missed the main vocal in 1st competition, but proved to have enough capacity as a vocalist in this time.

* Kim So-hee: She is a good assistant for main vocals with sub-vocalist Kim Na Young, Aramaki Maki, and Sato Minami.

* Aramaki Misaki: I am surprised at the tone and vocals above my expectations. It depends on your taste, but when you look at it personally, the first thing you notice is visual. Unintentionally, she receives a huge amount of cheers and applause. It was good to see her stand on stage and smile more than before.

* Sato Minami: It would be the shortest among the six, but it's enough for me. And she look so innocent. Unbreakable cuteness.

Dance position from here. In fact, since the dancing stage, my legs started to sore. I cannot fully concentrate.

7. Fitz and the Tantrums - HandClap

* Kim Cho-yeon: Crazy presence. I think her dancing skills belong to one of the top classes in the program.

* Kojima Mako: With a little subjectiveness, the powerful dance of this girl was more noticeable than my thought. Although Motomura Aoin seems to be a center, and there is Kim min seo, which is long and visual, Mako is more conspicuous. I did not know why it was, but the movement was cool.

* Motomura Aoi: Cute, dance well. I put her in the third place, but not means her performance was not enough good.

* Kim Min-Seo: Visual is definitely the best in the team. The physical is so slender. However, personally, the dance was not as entertaining as other visual members.

* Murase Sae: Just my opinion, but it does not seem to have a presence as much as Mamma Mia. Personally, it was plain. It was really cute when I appealed to you, not the stage.

* Muto Tomu: I feel sorry for her, but it seems to be the least noticeable in the team.

8. Little Mix - Touch

* Shitao Miu: Although she is the 'daughter of the bullpen'(original post is written in the community called bullpen. She is very popular in their), personally I'm not very interested in Miu. But she was very stand out. She led the crowd cheers in the very beginning of the stage. Among the dancer Hitomi and a absolute visual KIM Min-joo, she was just outstanding.

* Honda Hitomi: She showed special dancing skills.(Somebody says tumbling) Just great. But not noticeable as I expected.

* Kim Min-joo: Ridiculously awesome in visual. One of the best visuals of the program, not just in the team. However, in the dance, I feel a bit sad when compared to the team aces.

* Bae Eun-young: I can not say that she got a very small parts, but even in that parts, she seemed more focused on support rather than show herself. Not bad, but need to show us her own more.

* Lee Yoo-Jung: It seems that she was not enough to stand out among the older sisters.

9. Ariana Grande - Side To Side

* Lee Ga-Eun: I personally showed the dignity of the 1st place. It was a stunning, flawless performance.

* Wang Yiren: definitely a tremendous visual. Just beautiful. Beautiful dancing presence.

* Shioma Miru: Mysterious sexy...cute and profound.

* Lee si-an: Do it well, too. I did not feel anything special.

* Jang Won-young: I do not know. Her dance was not bad, butI think that there was an inevitable limit in expressing the

general atmosphere of this song compare to other sisters in this group

Pain of my legs became severe.

10. Jacks Jones - Instruction

* Son Eun-chae: The dancer. Did it well.

* Kim Hyun-ah: Like in 'Mamma Mia', the ability on the stage is real.

* Kim Soo-yoon: Slender, good to see her performance . Better than my thought.

* Lee ha-eun: I look forward to the future.

* Nakanishi Chiyori: An entertaining sense is on stage. Also did good job on her parts

* Wang ke: I thought team was good overall, but could not saw her on focus. I lost my concentration and missed her.

11. Demi Lovato - Sorry Not Sorry

I can not really concentrate on the stage.. I'm sorry.

* Kwon Eun bi: I'm sure she was good.

* Lee Chae Yeon: No doubt. could see great dancing performance even in lack of concentration

*Ko Yoojin: one of the pd48's representative dancer.

* Ahn yoojin: Um ... similar expression to Jang Won-young. However, I think that the atmosphere is better than Jang Won-young.

* Choi Yeonna: I do not know .. concentration is so low I missed her...

I swear I wasn't crying during the elimination. Do you agree w/ the trainees choosing Wang Yiren as the prettiest trainee?

Comments

Originally I was going to include this question in the post but I didn't want to make the post look messy.

Anyway, would anyone be interested in a post about AKB48, their spin-off groups, and their best songs? Their producer Akimoto will, after all, co-produce the final group. I might make it if the mods approve it.

[onerainysunday.livejournal.com]

YES would LOVE this as I just got into AKB (seems like about 5 years too late but oh well).

[miyozari.livejournal.com]

Thank you for the feedback! I briefly got into AKB48 eight years ago, but I quit very quickly, b/c their fandom can be very crazy and toxic. I'll probably only focus on their general structure/set-up and discography.

[maknaeroli.livejournal.com]

YES PLEASE!! That would be so wonderful!

[minho-lover.livejournal.com]

yes!!! i would love that!!! thabk youu

[coyote-revolver.livejournal.com]

Yes!! I used to follow them years ago but I lost track of their releases.

[kenziekinz09.livejournal.com]

If you need any help I have pre-2013 AKB covered lol

[miyozari.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Actually I was already thinking of sending you a PM. If the Mods allow it, I'd probably make the post next week or the week after that.

[annayism.livejournal.com]

lmao poor last group...the audience must have been exhausted. def hard to concentrate on a performance when you've been standing for hours

[onerainysunday.livejournal.com]

Sucks that the BTS group didn't do well... still rooting for both Gyuri and Miyu.

[bubble-monkey9.livejournal.com]

I'm not surprised. Those two (well mostly miyu) are so overrated by ifans. Miyu sings with soo much throat tension. her technique is terrible and she doesn't even have a nice tone to make up for it.

[anconeous.livejournal.com]

Agree on Miyu. I like her but JFC she is so damn overrated by international fans as if she's a vocal goddess that came down from the heavens. She's not. Her vocal tone limits her to certain types of songs.

[bubble-monkey9.livejournal.com]

I was neutral to her at first but now I just don't want her in the group because of her batshit fans tbh. yesterday they were sending death threats to a translator because they were mad the person translated fan accounts that weren't praising her.

[akalillyn.livejournal.com]

Idk if you're interested, but have you seen her youtube channel? That's what made me like her tbh! Her voice can sound so nice in a variety of songs!

Also, no hate but I think she's probably a "vocal goddess" compared to the rest of the J-idols LOL

[anconeous.livejournal.com]

I have seen a few of her videos. I liked her cover of Koisuru Fortune Cookie, actually, more than the original. Lol

I still stand by my opinion that she’s overrated for her vocal skills. She’s good, but she’s not THAT good.

And I have to say that it’s quite irritating to see numerous comments in YT demanding screentime for Miyu in practically every PD48-related video. Mnet would release a 30-second teaser for the next episode and the comments section is spammed by complaints of not seeing Miyu. WTF?! Her international fans have got no chill.

[akalillyn.livejournal.com]

LOL yeah okay, I completely agree about the international fans. They need to relax.

[bubble-monkey9.livejournal.com]

DDDD as a vocal performance is.. weird. I'm glad people are opening their eyes to the superior pledis trainee. Gaeun is so dull. I hope Yunjin rises to the top 12.

I've watched a bunch of Miu vids and I've decided that she's basically the lovechild of Suzy & Tiffany, so I get why she's so popular with Korean guys.

[dbsked.livejournal.com]

For me Lee Sian and Kim Minjoo are the prettiest this season.

Wang Yiren is definitely very pretty though.

[maknaeroli.livejournal.com]

Wang Yiren is so gorgeous so I agree!!

I’m excited to see these performances!

[belintuchiha.livejournal.com]

For some reason Wang Yiren rubs me the wrong way, it’s just my gut lol

[pseudo-shigure.livejournal.com]

i still can't fit the name to their faces -_- and during elimination i didnt feel as attach as i did with the boys (s2 and idol produce) but i also didn't watch their extra clips outside the show, so maybe that's the thing. but apparently the ones that i like are the A class kids and they're safe up there so it's good lol.

Surprised yoojin's vocal is that good tbh. hope she can at least get to final.

wang yiren is so pretty, but this season there's SO. MANY. PRETTY. GIRLS. tbh it'd be difficult to choose just one

[anconeous.livejournal.com]

The prettiest girl in the show for me is bb Iwatate Saho. She's so cute and I hope more of her dorky side gets shown on camera.

[staaan.livejournal.com]

yikes @ a kid like wonyoung doing 'side to side'

i like reading fan accounts because mnet edits their vocals so heavily for the episodes that you can't really tell who did poorly and who didn't

[accioanime.livejournal.com]

do they even know what the English lyrics of side to side mean????

and Im disappointed by this season's lack of outstanding vocalists. There are many "stable" vocalists who can hold a decent note, but I roll my eyes every time they clap tremendously when someone does ok on a high note.

as for Visuals, I think Chinese beauty like Wang Yiren fits the cultural standard. Didn't the girls in season 1 pick Pinky?

For me, my top visuals are Go Hyujin and Ahn Hyujin. My eyes go directly to them when they are performing in a group.

[megamisama-ann.livejournal.com]

Screaming because Miruru did Side to Side. This is just too emotional. I probably crying during the show.

[minho-lover.livejournal.com]

i feel a lil less interested now that the first eliminations happened,,,,i agree with them choosing yiren SHE IS GORGEOUS! my top picks are Lee Sian and Saho.

after reading the fan accounts im suuuper nervous about the next perfs. yikes at miyu, i like her tho :(

rooting for jo yoori, i liked her voice in the “short hair” stage. and also pledis yunjin, shes too good.

[mortkero.livejournal.com]

Wang Yiren was my guess for top pick, I mean I watched the solo cam for someone else in her group but my eyes were drawn to her in that video.

I love reading fan accounts, looking forward to watching the performances.

[sjtaazrz.livejournal.com]

"Side to Side" is a choice. You have so many young kids, I don't know why they'd do that, but then again, this is the same show that did "Bang Bang" during season one and Somi was part of that performance so...

I wonder if the fan accounts will be shown more or less as told or if MNET will heavily edit to make some people look like they better/worse than they did.

Also, most of the girls that got cut weren't really too memorable for me. Usually, I'll feel sad to see so many people go, but aside from the girl they said looked like Sunmi, I don't really remember those who got cut.

[miwa201.livejournal.com]

yiren is just ok to me. sakura is the prettiest imo.

yikes at those truth untold fan accounts. i feel bad for miyu. i also don't think she's as good as people make her out to be (she wasn't impressive during high tension, yoon haesol was miles better) but i hate that people are making fun of her looks. plus armys will bash her to death.

ofc 13 year old wonyoung is dancing to side to side. of course. i've made my peace with her and yujin making into the top 12 (god knows mnet wants them to), but i hope they don't sexualize them immediately

[coyote-revolver.livejournal.com]

#ProtectMiyu :(
